I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to try to catch it. You are standing on the ground. Apparently, you do not want to stand directly under me; in fact, you would like to stand as far to one side as you can so that if I accidentally release it, it won't hit you on the head. If you can run at 19 feet per second and I am at a height of 95 feet, how far away can you stand and still catch the egg if you start running when I let go? A person can stand ft away to still catch the egg. (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
